SINGAPORE VACC
Overall
Singapore vACC is progressing well with a high demand to join as a resident controller. However, with limited airspace, we are bound to the constraints of the number of available facilities
used for training. At this time, new SOPs from Delivery to Radar is being set in place to allow better coordination and facility management. The expected time for these SOPs to be effective
is February-March.
